You know you're in nursing school when....

I'm sure this has been done before but I figured I'd do it anyway!

You know you're in nursing school when......

Your mind is thinking about so many different things that you actually have to stop and make sure you have on all of your clothes before you leave the house!

When you walk into a public bathroom and find an unflushed toilet, you're first instinct is not to be annoyed but to analize the color, composition, and presence of blood in your "present".

We had to buy two uniforms for school. We had a choice of a dress or a pant suit. The pant suit had a longish top. We had a girl show up to clinicals wearing only the pant suit top. Because she had her lab coat on and buttoned up, she thought she had on her dress!!!

Oh, no, they didn't!!!!!!!!!!! Embarrassing!!!!!!!!!!

You work a 12 hour shift and realize you haven't used the bathroom to "void" until you got home

You would rather wait until someone else open the bathroom door in a public restroom because you just washed your hands while singing "Happy Birthday"

You notice how everyone on TV wears their stethoscopes the wrong way

Smells that should automatically initiate the gag reflex don't seem to bother you

The last "new outfit" you purchased was a brand new set of scrubs...and you were excited about it

You just spent the last 45 minutes reading all the replies to this post and laughed out loud by yourself

Thanks for the laughs!!:jester::yeah:

Me too!!!!!!!!!!!

You know you're in nursing school when a Saturday night with your significant other consists of practicing assessment skills :)

OMG! I have my husband freaking out at the mere mention of the word "palpate"!:D

My boyfriend is happy to let me practice on him, however now that he has a large kidney stone, he won't let me do "that tapping thing". lol

You miss a question on your test, but are able to convince your instructor to give you credit using your newly developed 'nursing rationale' skills :cool:

You know you're in nursing school when your boyfriend meets your classmates and says, "You all have the same energy. I would be able to tell you're nurses without even knowing you."
